It’s not often that we fall upon a skincare brand that’s so bloomin' brilliant that we’d happily use every single product in the range forevermore. But that’s exactly what we’ve found in Medik8.
Serious about skincare and backed by science, this beauty brand has garnered a loyal fanbase of in-the-know skincare junkies who praise its impressive results and simple CSA philosophy. That’s using vitamin C and sunscreen during the day and vitamin A at night.
Easy!
What’s more, Medik8 has developed various formulations and textures for the above three categories to cater to various skin concerns and needs. You’ve probably already heard of Crystal Retinal for instance?
Medik8’s stable retinal night serum that's available in four strengths (0.01, 0.03, 0.06 and 0.1% encapsulated retinaldehyde) to allow the skin to build up a tolerance to this superstar anti-ageing ingredient. As well as retinol, the products hero hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, AHAs, BHAs, PHAs and much, much more.
